Quilting


In this blog I will write about my quilting journey.
I am interested in using fabrics to create artwork. The picture shows a watercolor wall hanging quilt that I made, "Floral Heart Wreath". I created the quilt following the instruction in Dina Pappas book Quick Watercolor Quilts.
I am also interested in traditional quilting patterns and their history behind them and I will be commenting on those as well.
The advancement in technology has reached quilting making piecing much easier and faster.  One technique that I have discovered is called Square in a Square® created by Jodi Barrows.  This new and fascinating technique makes quilting a fast and fun event. I am a Square in a Square certified teacher.  I will post pictures and information of the quilts that I make using the Square in a Square method. Check back soon.
